Blackboard will be unavailable January 2nd 2025, from 1:00am until 7:30am for scheduled maintenance by Anthology. During this time, you will be unable to log into Blackboard or access any Blackboard resources.
You and your instructors can send messages to each other, multiple people, or an entire class.
From the Blackboard home page, access messages for all courses.
When in a course, access the Messages tab. All your course messages and responses appear here.
Option 1: From the Blackboard home page, select the Messages icon. Next click the New Messages icon and the New Message panel opens.
Option 2: From within your course, select the Messages tab. Next, click the New Message icon and the New Message panel opens.
Start typing to add recipients. As you type, matching recipient names appear in a menu for easy selection. You can continue to add as many names as you want to send them to the whole class.
Lead with the most important information. Messages don't have titles. Recipients need to rely on the first part of your message as they choose what to read. You can use the options in the editor to format the text and embed images and attach files.
Send an email copy option. You can send an email copy of a course message. When you select this option, recipients can view your message in their email inboxes but won't be able to send an email to reply.
